I especially enjoyed our challenging group ride on Tuesday up in the hills East of Gilroy. This doesn\u2019t have any really long climbs, just lots of them. I was getting tied towards the end, with electric assist (on my upright). So I was impressed by those without assist who toughed it out. I learned an amusing new term for bikes without assist- \u201cacoustic bikes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the week, around Thursday, I started feeling a little under the weather. It is hard to tell if this is just allergies this time of year but then I started also getting the symptom of chills and night and then a slight fever, so I\u2019m assuming it\u2019s a cold. By yesterday I was feeling a bit better so hopefully I\u2019m kicking it. So for a few days up till yesterday I just did easy local rides. I also do Yoga and stretching at night for relaxation and I keep that up unless I get really ill. I\u2019ll resume longer and harder riding along with strength training soon. Setbacks like this don\u2019t bother me like they used to, especially when I\u2019m not in training for anything in particular.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
